Car Porn

No point, I focked up which BKill already pointed out. I knew it was a Toyota just messed up in my description. I did see one of those Toyota GT2000’s in San Diego years ago though.

 

So nobody notice anything strange about this car?

 

I'm assuming you mean other than the fact that it's a custom conversion?

 

Other than the fact that it didn’t come from the factory? Unless of course, GM built a 57 Ute in Australia. Growing up in the 60s I remember seeing several 55-57 Chevy conversions. The ones I remember all started life as a station wagon. Some of them were surprisingly well done.

 

That 3rd seat was an option, a copy of the same available on the 230/250/280 SL Mercedes of the time. Drove a 280SL for a while

 

Someone mentioned the 240Z. Did you know you can get 6 large Airmen in one for a trip to a local mountain lake. Alcohol helps.

 

lol
Did you know the hood works great for a romantic night under the stars.

 

I asked it two pages back without a response, so yes you both are correct, the fact that the factory didn’t make an El Camino in 1957. I saw it driving through a parking lot from a distance and knew right off it was a conversation. He parked so I went up and picked his brain on it. He took a 57’ Nomad and grafted on a early 60’s truck cab. Something the factory should have done in 1957. Granted the 1959 and 60 El Camino is one of the best designs ever a 57 would have been as well.

 

I hate to be “that guy”, but somebody has to, lol. I’m quite sure he started with standard wagon. Nomads used the doors from a 2 dr. hardtop, which meant the windows were frameless. This vehicle definitely has window frames. Chevy made a 2 dr. wagon, so he might have started with that, but (although it’s hard to tell at the angles of each photo) the doors look a little short and it could have started life as a 4 dr. wagon. The thing that impresses me is how finished everything looks. The chrome trim around the top of the bed looks like it’s one piece. Nicely done. I actually drove a 55 Chevy 4 dr. wagon my last year in college. I always dreamed about turning it into an El Camino.

 

Be that guy, I know that era of Chevys but not that detailed. I was on a limited time frame while he was explaining it to me, and a bit in awe really. So cool, and wish Chevy had did that in 57.

 

I'll likely leave my side moldings on but they are SO hard to get perfectly aligned I am almost liking the "naked" side look here.

Oh dear sweet baby Jesus...

 

To put it lightly.

 

I’d like to see the whole thing upholstered in alligator vinyl top material

 

I’m pretty bad at posting and replying, I don’t get on here much. But here’s a ‘54 Bel Air that I’m cutting on today. It’s gonna end up laying frame on 20”s.

 

FanTastic! Edit: please tell me it’s getting a sun visor and wheel skirts! Car looks great! Good job! Edit: saw this thing

 

My best friend from high school builds and flips first and second gen. Chevelles and Camaro's. He’s the one who painted my GTO back in the day. Here’s one of my favorite cars he built and sold. A Yenko Tribute 1969 Chevelle.
